TRv6 - repaired roof-sticks

10 Apr 2022 1 141
When the TR volunteers started to dismantle Van 6's body for restoration, they discovered that two of the roof-sticks were a bit below standard, due [mainly] to rotten wood, plus the physical expansion that occurs when an iron nail rusts has started to induce splits. We've made three new roof-sticks, and the better of the two originals can be repaired. Once they have all been painted, I don't think you would be able to tell them apart ...

TRv6 - chassis progress

Almost fully painted - just some touching up to do on the centre spine pieces. The wheels are in place, leaving a couple of minor jobs to finish - fit the corner interior plates and the end caps on the headstocks. [plus change the temporary bar for the proper bolts, which still haven't been delivered].
